In October 2010 at the close of the state case, the students defense lawyer Jeremiah Bamu of Zimbabwe Lawyers for Human Rights (ZLHR) applied for discharge. The state prosecutor is yet to file his submission in response to the application. Judgment on the application for discharge will be delivered on 18 February 2011.
The Student Solidarity Trust (SST) believes that judicial reforms are the only panacea to the current backlog that has jammed our courts. Students should not spend most of their time in courts but colleges and Universities.
